The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 899

Quinton glanced at the ice cream stand and then told Ms. Mendoza, "You head upstairs; I'll stand in line and get your ice cream. Let me know your flavor."

"Vanilla." Ellinor said, pulling out a bill from her bag and handing it to him, "Here's the cash."

Just as Quinton was about to refuse it, Ellinor's gaze turned stern.

It seemed like Ms. Mendoza wasn't going anywhere unless he took the money.

With no other choice, Quinton reluctantly accepted the money and went to queue up.

With someone else waiting in line for the ice cream, Ellinor went upstairs.

Who knew that she’d bump into an old acquaintance as soon as she got in the elevator?

A woman, all dolled up with red lipstick, looked at Ellinor stepping into the elevator, paused for a second, and then said sarcastically, "I was wondering who you are! Aren’t you Ellinor? Mr. Howard's former secretary, who got a promotion to sales manager?"

Ellinor recognized her too; she was an employee from the Howard Group.

After Balfour transferred her to the sales department, this woman took her place as Balfour's secretary, though she couldn't remember her name.

Ellinor didn't waste her energy on unimportant people, so she just nodded and smiled, "Yeah, long time no see."

The woman deliberately moved closer to Ellinor, scoffing, "I heard you were fired by Mr. Howard! What brings you here today?"

Ellinor replied casually, "Lunch."
